Back to ice!

The icicles around here have become quite an amazing study in structure and pattern. Many homes have icicles almost to the ground and if you are on the side of the buillding where the wind blows they  have started to bend at the bottom so they are very striking.  I took these photos of a "wall" of ice from inside the house - the sun was coming through the icicles and creating these patterns. The bottom photo is a closeup of one of the areas where all the ice has become a large mass.
